Candice Williams The Detroit News Published 11:55 PM EST Nov 5, 2018 Detroit — With its industrial environment and gritty charm, the city's Eastern Market neighborhood survived during a time when development was stagnant — even as similar markets in other cities disappeared. Now with development booming in the city and moving outward from the central business district, officials are working on a plan for the neighborhood to keep the core market intact and maintain the area’s identity. The plan comes as at least two new developments are being proposed in the area — a $70 million "gateway" project featuring housing and retail, and a mixed-use development on the site of the former Joe Muer Seafood restaurant on Gratiot. “Our mandate is to try to find ways to preserve and enhance the asset of a neighborhood and make sure that any planning outcome benefits a neighborhood,” said Maurice Cox, the … [Read more...] about Eastern Market looks to keep identity as developments sprout up

Meira Gebel Detroit Free Press Published 6:00 AM EDT Sep 21, 2018 The next time you are in Eastern Market and see a raw chicken on the street, don’t be alarmed. It’s just art. Chicago-based artist Jim Bachor has installed 10 pothole pieces across Eastern Market, and all on theme: Each represents something you can get in the neighborhood. Hence, the raw chicken (located near Riopelle and Alfred). You can also find a coney dog, broccoli and Aretha Franklin. Wait a second. ... Pothole art? Yes. Bachor scouts out potholes, fills them with concrete and adorns them with hand-cut pieces of colorful mosaic stone in a contemporary style.
